Book Reviews of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Applause Musical Library)

Book Review: A delightful dark musical comedy.
Summary: 4 Stars

This show is not for all tastes. If you are a fan of Stephen Sondheim...or even if you are not you will find this show moves you and makes you feel for the man society usually portrays as the villain through the media. This is a script to a show about a barber who was exiled to Australia by a Judge and his Beadle and who returns to take his revenge. The original show starred the amazing Len Cariou and the always fabulous Angela Lansbury. This is not your "Sound of Music" and other very happy musicals. This is very mature but awesome and intelligent...and FEELING.
